The Level 20 Mentoring programme is our flagship initiative aimed                                  at supporting our female members currently working in private equity                          to succeed and progress within their firms.

Now entering its eighth year, the programme currently operates across seven geographies in Europe: UK, France, DACH, Nordics, Netherlands, Spain and Italy. Since its launch in 2015, over 700 women have been through the programme.

• 12-month programme
• pairs mid-level to senior women in the industry with a more experienced male or female mentor (50:50 split between male and female mentors)
• designed to give the mentee a space outside of their day-to-day working environment to consider their career development with the distance and objectivity that a more experienced industry professional can provide
• mentors and mentees meet every six to eight weeks for a one-hour session
• full programme of training and support offered to both mentors and mentees throughout the year
• primarily aimed at women in deal-professional roles
• mentees and mentors are matched through a selective process

As well as providing a valuable resource for mentees, participating as a mentor also gives senior leaders a direct insight into the issues that can hinder the progression and retention of women in private equity.

We have also recently launched a Group Mentoring programme which is specifically for junior female private equity professionals looking to build the foundations for a long-term career in the industry.
